UK’s Oldest Driver Is 103-Year-Old, And Has Driven For 82 Years Without Any Accident

A 103-year-old grandfather in the UK is believed to be the oldest British driver with more than 80 years of experience behind the wheels without committing a single road accident, media reports said.

 

Giovanni Rozzo, a former ice-cream seller and milkman who lives in Cambridge, drives daily to visit the grave of his wife who died last year and regularly visits the shops in his blue 23-year-old Mitsubishi Lancer car. 

 

His wife regularly used to accompany him in their car as a passenger. Rozzo, who has three children and four grandchildren, said that he has been driving cars for the last 82 years and has no intention of hanging up his car keys as there is no cap on the upper age limit for driving in the country. He has had two speeding fines and has never had an accident during his motoring career.

 

“I’ve been driving since I was 20. I was a clerk in the Italian army at the time, so I started driving military vehicles in Italy before I came to England, and then drove my van for many, many years,” Rozzo was quoted as saying by the Telegraph newspaper.
